This is a Metro North Rail accessible trail in the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve area. This 2.5-hour hike takes you by waterfalls and streams and along a Revolutionary War road used by the traitorous general Benedict Arnold. It’s a breezy, beginner-friendly loop. W'e’ll take it at a relaxed pace, so we can enjoy the scenery, stop for a few photo opps and lunch, and chop it up with our community. Bring a friend or two, sunscreen, snacks, and lots of good vibes.

See you on the trails!
